Another day, another...turnip?

I've found out that turnips make an acceptable alternative to potatoes (especially mashed with butter salt and garlic powder). The one thing you miss the most while doing the "don't raise my blood sugar" diet is potatoes. I've not tried french frying turnips yet. I'll let you know how they turn out.

My diet is so strange that it makes it difficult to eat with others. No beef (lack of gall bladder), no sugar in anything, no potatoes, no corn, only sugar free bread (diabetes). What a drag. Some folks WILL insist on giving you sugar-sweetened tea.

I've read the "Little House on the Prairie" books and am working on the follow-up books about Rose, Laura and Almonzo's daughter. They are simple, fun and relaxing. I know that folks say they are for children, but whyare they? Because they are clean? Easy to read? No cursing? No sex? That's why I like them. Wish more folks would write books I can read without cringing.
